Nigeria’s Oranto Petroleum is acquiring 2,000km2 of 3D seismic on the St Louis Shallow Block, which the company said would fulfil the first work programme commitment on the licence. The block contains two main four-way closures, Fish Eagle and Vulture, with prospective resources of 100m-200m barrels of oil. A third closure, Gainde, is located to the south. Oranto acquired the licence in 2015. A previous well, Cayar-1, was drilled on the block by Shell in 1977.
